RABBI BENJAMIN BLECH PANS THE NEW JIMMY CARTER DOCUMENTARY

HERE'S THE BEGINNING:

Watch out Gigli and Howard the Duck. You just might lose the contest for the worst movie ever made now that Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains has come to the big screen.

Produced by the same people who recently gave us the Al Gore documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, we're shown all the drama and excitement of a two-month book tour that is about as painful to watch as your last root canal without the incremental benefit of knowing that at least you gained something positive from the experience. An infomercial posing as entertainment and a distortion of facts masquerading as documentary, this film -- that would better have been called An Unconvincing Lie -- should probably be dismissed without comment were it not for the importance of its "hero" and the powerful impact it may yet have on a gullible public.
